IRONING-BOABD COVER- Applicatlon filed March 28, 1985'. Serial No. 19,088;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIGMUND F. Kenn, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York city, in the county of the Bronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Board Covers, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which'the present invention has in view are: to provide a reversible cover for ironing boards; to provide means for quick attachment of a cover over an ironing board; to provide means in a cover for imparting a transverse tension thereto across an ironing board; and generally to provide a novel and im roved form of cover cloth for ironing bear s.

Drawings.

Figure 1 is a bottom plan viewof a cover as applied over an ironing board.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through a board with a cover mounted thereover.

Figure 3 is a side elevation showing the cover, with pocket portions thereof, inverted from the form as in Figs.-1 and 2.

Description.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the cover is formed from a stri or body of heavy cloth 10 shaped to con cm to the configuration of the conventional ironing board 11, over one face of which it is adapted to be stretched when in service position.

Stitched to the large end of the cover, is a pocket 12 formed of a cloth portion having its inner end 13 open and formed to slip over the ironing board end to envelop the board end up to the straight side edge of the board. At the opposite end of the cover is stitched another pocket ortion, to envelo the smaller endof the ard, but at this point the pocket is split along um longitu-' dinal center of the board to form two flaps 14 and 15 of sector shaped configuration, disposed with their meetin edges in overlappedrelation. The two aps are secured in pocket forming position by attachment of the male and female members 16 and 17' respectively, of a fastener carried by the flaps.

ntermediate the ends of the cover, the body thereof is retained in position on the ironing board by means of opposed pairs of elastic straps 18 and 19 attached to the side edges of the cover strip and with each air of straps converging at their free ends into webs 20 and 21; which webs carry the component elements of a fastener 22. In service position, with the elastic straps s'ecured by the fastener, the elasticity of the straps exerts a tension on the body of the cover, transversely of the ironing board, insuring against wrinkling of the cloth.

In Figures 1 and 2, one position of the applied cover is illustrated. When desired the cover may be reversed, andthe pocket portions at each end turned inside out, to present a fresh ironing face for the cloth. This reverse, or' inverted position is illustrated in Figure 3. As the elastic straps 18 and 19 are attached to the side edges of the cover, they'may be fastened under the board at all times. The flaps 14- and 15 permit application of the cover freely and quickly.
